This icon is supposed to represent a magnifying glass. It's a large circle with a fat line protruding out from the bottom of it at an angle. The line is meant to represent the handle of the magnifying glass while the circle represents the magnifier portion.

This Search icon has Android KitKat style. If you use the icons for Android apps, we recommend using our latest Material Icons icon pack (please check our sidebar on the right). Otherwise, it's a solid icon pack that looks good in small resolutions, either on the web or in print. It's characterized by thick lines, smooth corners, and is optimized for 24x24 pixels.
